East Bound Train Lyrics

Artist: Flatt and Scruggs
Album: Hear The Whistles Blow

The east bound train was crowded one cold December dayThe conductor shouted, "Tickets" in his old- time fashioned wayA little girl, in sadness , her hair as bright as goldShe said< " I have no ticket" and then her story told

"My father he's in prison he's lost his sight they sayI'm going to beg his pardon this cold December day[ ac.guitar ]My mother's daily sewing to try to earn our breadMy poor dear old blind father in prison almost deadMy brother and my sister would both be mighty glad,If I could only bring back my poor, dear , old blind Dad"

The conductor could not answer he could not make a replyWhile looking at this little one he brushed a teardrop from his eye"Do not fear my little one just stay right where you areYou'll never need a ticket while I am on this car"
